The Rain in Spain...

Three days of rain! This picture is from day one, spirits not damp yet.....but by day three we are soaked and exhausted. Day one of light rain for three hours, then we took a room. The room was ok but the radiator heating only came on from 8 pm to midnight. The rest of the time....damp and cold, too bad. Day two we were up before sunrise again, wishing for sun & warmth, but instead we had to trudge 8 hours in steady rain. It was a 28 km day that had to be done, but our room that night was five star! Well deserved we thought. Today was day three of rain and it was terrible! We walked for 7 hours in monsoon down pours and wind. The trail flooded in many places and we were forced to walk in water over our ankles. Shoes and socks soaked through to trudge in all 7 hours. More blisters to prove it. Each soggy step now felt like an additional five pound weight to haul on each foot?  Trying to stay positive is a struggle now. Weather forecast for tomorrow is sadly, rain again.....only bright spot is we shall arrive in Santiago!!!  We will spend several days in Santiago....more info and photos to follow. Bye for now, Dearest family & Friends. B & D xo
